Postgame Thoughts… Indiana

[NineOneSeven]

Absolutely critical we somehow got that win…. By any means necessary….?

Few words, yet many words.

Thankfully, we did not botch that. We tried. And we held on.

Great effort to the guys hanging in.

Just wanted to get Frankie n Benny more experience. That’s all

 

[OHIORANGES]

Absolutely pumped!’
Great tenacity!

 

[FRANKIEFAN]

Wins a win.

 

[Dinkyspond]

Frank MVP for 4-4 from line and fighting hard for boards against the Hoosier big

 

[DoctahLexus]

FRANK ANSELEM!

 

[Alsacs]

We are an old Iowa Fran McCaffrey team.

Can’t play defense at all.
Can shoot and make shots.

It’s fun to watch but it’s not a good team.

This team is not a NCAAT team.

huge win. hopefully gives them some confidence and momentum. frank’s 4 straight fts when we were down 4 in double ot won us the game. i didnt think we had a shot when swider fouled out, after he made the 4 straight i felt like we were winning no matter what.

 

[djcon57]

You take the win. You took what worked (1-3-1 in first half, Jesse dominating, Buddy ISOs at end of the game).

...and that’s really it. we have to start getting comfortable with this team being what it is. Take the wins when you get them

Not a great overall performance but gotta commend the OT units for pulling it out. Buddy is a gamer, Jimmy is coming into form, and Jesse is proving to be a constant force in the middle for us. Frank provided some great minutes and even though JG3 might drive everyone crazy (myself included), he stepped up when it mattered.

Interested to see what lies ahead for this team. Because I honestly have no effn clue

Statistics are not telling. Swider was crap. Frank and Torrence played better than the stats.

 

[UpstateSM]

The foul they called on Buddy on the corner three was as bad of a call I’ve seen all year and let them have any chance at coming back. Absolute garbage.

Frank saved the gd day once Jesse was gone. This team has some stonezzz and we have two guys in Jackson and Joe who will never be scared of the moment.

I love it. Let’s get FSU on the road while they’re vulnerable.

Frank was massive

This team is not a NCAAT team.

it's also 11/30 Never been real smart to bet against JB getting his team better.

 

[perdurabo]

More exciting than Overtime Elite!

 

[samspann1]

Why didn’t Girard miss the last FT?

 

[Cheriehoop]

We stymied the Big Ten dominance in this year’s challenge with this win.

 

[tee1222]

I watched the whole game yet I'm still not sure what I just watched. But we freaking won!

 

[NKR1978]

They could have packed it in so many times. So many things went horrifically wrong, and they won. Given all the negativity I’ve contributed, I’m happy that all my assumptions every time something went wrong were wrong.

 

[NineOneSeven]

Now to talk about the actual game some more….

- Great first half. Indiana missed good looks though that they didn’t later, see below.
- Indiana adjusted and dominated the second half for a good 15’. That Davis kid is something.
- End of regulation…. Thought frank needed to be in there. He’s our biggest player, no?
- End of first overtime play (design?). Thankfully Indiana had even worse execution.
- Buddy gave me a lot of emotions tonight but wow, some big shots.
- HUGE free throws by Frank.

Rutgers has a beefy dance team

Blame Jersey Mike's.

 

[Cusefan0307]

Great team win. The team showed some balls today. Free throw shooting and rebounding nearly cost us. Hated the strategy at the end of regulation with our inability to rebound. I think Indiana is a solid team and we now have 2 power 5 wins in our pocket.

 

[SUalldway]

FRANK ANSELEM!

Hits 4 Big free throws in that 2nd OT!

 

[Shaggy1]

Benny is absolutely lost in the zone. No clue. He’s not going to play much moving forward unless he starts to get it.
